Chapter 120: Probing the soil with blood, very bad luck!
Inherited from ancestors?!
Xu Feng and the others looked at each other.
This is really unexpected.
"Your last name is Li?!"
The boatman nodded and said, "My last name is Li. Not only me, but everyone in our village has the last name Li."
Xu Feng and others immediately understood.
It seems that this village is most likely the place where Li Ji's descendants live.
It is even very likely that Li Ji and his men not only set up the Demon Suppression Division forbidden area here, but also moved their clansmen here. They probably wanted to keep an eye on this place and prevent outsiders from entering.
"Let's go and take a look at their village!"
Wu Sansheng waved his hand.
the next day.
It was a little after five in the morning, and the sky was just beginning to lighten.
The air in the mountains smells so fresh that you can almost feel a sweet scent.
The five of them were ready and set off.
The boatman took the lead.
It took most of the day to walk over mountains and across hills.
"How much longer?!"
Wu Xie asked breathlessly.
"We're almost there. We'll be there just past the hill ahead."
The boatman answered quickly.
At this time.
Xu Feng suddenly approached Wu Sanxing and whispered, "Master San, it seems like someone is following us."
Wu Sansheng remained calm: "Are you sure?"
"You still don't believe in my strength? I can hear footsteps behind me. There are at least thirty or forty people."
Wu Sansheng kept walking, lowering his head and pondering.
After a while.
He sneered: "It doesn't matter. Once we get to the tomb, we have plenty of ways to deal with them."
"Okay, then we'll just pretend we know nothing."
Being bored on the road, Wu Xie and Pan Zi asked the boatman to chat with them. As they chatted, they managed to dig out a lot of information.
As mentioned before, Old Yu and the boatman are both from Lijia Village.
The boatman is from the Lijia Village clan.
Old Yu married into the family.
The boatman was originally a fisherman, fishing on the lake. One day, he accidentally broke into a water cave and encountered many strange things. If the tribe leader had not come to rescue him, he might have died in there.
Then he accidentally discovered that the patriarch had a token in his hand.
With this token, you can pass through the water cave safely.
Most of the dangers in the water cave will be useless.
The boatman began to have an idea.
He stole the token from the patriarch, and then started a murderous business with Old Yutou.
Old Yutou acted as a guide in Guazimiao Town and led people into the mountains.
Then they took the people to the water cave.
When the time is right, the two of them will hide in the hole above the water cave. Because they have the token, the big corpse turtles will not harm them and will only attack tourists and hikers.
Wait until those people are dead.
They will then clean up the mess.
Over the years, the two of them have collaborated to harm many people.
If Xu Feng had not grabbed the boatman and prevented him from falling into the hole, Old Yutou would not have died.
The people in Lijia Village actually knew about the business they were doing.
So we were all very surprised to see them alive yesterday.
It was just because the boatman was very nice to the villagers and he was one of their own, so the villagers didn't bother to care about his affairs.
"Then do you have any legends about ancient tombs here?"
Wu Xie asked.
The boatman shook his head.
But he quickly added, "However, the place you are going to had a landslide two years ago, and a lot of bones appeared. It attracted the attention of the government, and they sent a lot of people over. In the end, they concluded that it was an ancient mass grave."
"They said that place might be an ancient battlefield, so there is a mass grave."
This information also reached the ears of Wu Sansheng and Xu Feng intermittently.
The two walked behind and looked at each other.
"Mass graves usually appear in places like ancient battlefields."
"But the chance of an ancient battlefield appearing in such a deep forest is too low. In comparison, I prefer another possibility."
Wu Sansheng said in a low voice.
Xu Feng chuckled: "Third Master, do you mean that those people are the craftsmen who built the ancient tomb?"
"That's right! In ancient times, when the kings and nobles built their mausoleums, they would kill all the craftsmen after they were finished to keep it secret. I think that mass grave is most likely the case."
Xu Feng nodded.
He couldn't help but think of Sun En's tomb, the piles of bones on the riverbed, and the huge skeleton.
Suddenly, Zhang Qiling brushed past him, startling him slightly.
"This guy!"
"His presence is really low! He doesn't talk much, and if you're not paying attention you'll forget he exists."
Xu Feng looked at his back and muttered a few words.
We walked for about another hour.
They finally arrived at the foot of a big mountain.
"This is the place you are looking for!"
The boatman pointed at the mountain timidly and said.
Wu Sansheng and Xu Feng looked at the mountains in front of them and compared them with the map in their hands.
After a long time, the two looked at each other and nodded.
That's right!
This is it! When Wu Xie and Pan Zi saw the smiles on their faces, they immediately knew that they were in the right place, and they also became happy.
suddenly.
Wu Sansheng looked at the boatman.
The boatman, who had been standing timidly by the side and wished he could become invisible, immediately noticed Wu Sansheng's gaze and fell to his knees.
"Boss, boss, look, I've already led you to the place, can you spare my life?!"
"I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare anymore!"
"I promise, I will go to the police and turn myself in as soon as I get back!"
He kowtowed and spoke with tears in his eyes.
Watching the boatman begging for mercy, Xu Feng stood by without saying a word.
Instead, he waited for Wu Sanxing to make a decision.
If Xu Feng were to make the decision, he would kill this guy without hesitation.
Because this guy was the first to think of killing them!
Even if they killed him, it would be self-defense!
There is no such thing as excessive self-defense. You have to know that this guy holds countless lives in his hands. Although those people were not killed by him personally, they were all killed by him. What is the difference between killing them with his own hands? !
Besides, this is a desolate mountain area, there will be no trouble at all in killing him!
but……
The nominal leader of their team is now Wu Sanxing.
So you have to kill or release.
It’s still up to Wu Sanxing!
Wu Sansheng paused, walked over and pulled the boatman up, patted the dirt off his body, and then looked at him solemnly: "Don't do such evil things in your next life."
After he finished speaking, a dagger appeared in his hand and he stabbed it into the boatman's heart with steady, accurate and ruthless force.
Neither Xu Feng nor Pan Zi blinked.
Xu Feng didn't find it strange at all.
On the contrary, Xu Feng would find it strange if Wu Sanxing didn’t kill him.
Because of this person.
So many of Wu Sanxing's men died.
If he lets the boatman go, will he still be the old fox Wu Sanxing? !
Wu Sansheng was merciful enough not to vent his anger on him and let him die quickly and efficiently.
Wu Xie felt a little reluctant and turned his head away.
He had just had a good chat with the boatman, who answered almost every question he asked.
But he is not a saint either.
They are clearly trying to harm them.
Let him go?!
Do you really think that Wu Xie is that kind of brain-dead, naive saint? !
What's more, if such a scourge is released, who knows what he might do in the future.
Things like murder.
Only once and countless times.
Many people are afraid to kill people because they just can't get over that hurdle.
Once you get over that hurdle, killing will no longer be a burden.
As for Zhang Qiling, his expression was even more indifferent.
Pan Zi threw the boatman's body into a nearby ravine.
Then come back and start cooking.
I am about to go to the tomb, and I don’t know when my next meal will be.
Therefore, every time before going to the tomb, they would prepare a sumptuous meal and eat their fill, as this might be their last meal.
After dinner, I smoked a cigarette to relax.
"Okay, it's time to get to work."
Wu Sanxing said.
He took out the map, pointed to the place where the blue-eyed fox was drawn on the map, and compared it for a long time.
Finally he found a place.
He squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of soil, put it under his nose and smelled it, shook his head, walked a few steps, and grabbed another handful.
"It's buried too deep. We need to dig a few more shovels to see."
Pan Zi took off the bag on his back, took out a threaded steel pipe from it, connected it, and then put the shovel head on it. Now he had all the tools needed to dig a hole.
Wu Sansheng walked slowly.
After a moment, he stepped on the ground and left a few marks.
"Hit down from here."
Pan Zi fixed the shovel head and started to dig with a short-handled hammer. Wu Sansheng stood aside with one hand on the steel pipe to feel the situation below. Xu Feng watched them work with interest.
He didn't know the skill of earth prospecting at all.
These are all experience and knowledge.
When it comes to this kind of craft, Wu Sansheng is the best.
He, Lao Hu, and Fatty couldn't catch up even if they tried their best. When they got to the thirteenth quarter...
Wu Sansheng's expression suddenly changed: "Wait... got it!"
Probing the soil means probing the soil above the tomb chamber.
The ancient tomb is an underground project, and the soil above it must be different from normal soil.
In the blink of an eye, the shovel was pulled up section by section, and the last bit of soil was about to come up.
Xu Feng walked to the side naturally and waited...
The bloody soil appeared before the five people.
If there is blood when digging the soil, it is a bad omen!
Wu Sansheng's face turned pale instantly.
Pan Zi and Wu Xie's expressions weren't much better!
Only Xu Feng and Zhang Qiling remained calm.
Xu Feng pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Uncle San, what's going on?!"
Wu Sanxing didn't say anything, he just put his nose close to the bloody soil and sniffed it hard.
Xu Feng could smell it without having to get close.
